If it was that incriminating, why didn't they just destroy it?
1. To do so would have been a violation of the law. Something that could come back and nail someone's ass.
2. There was SO MANY incriminating docs, no one knew where all of them were...or, whether they had all been destroyed.
3. Perhaps someone hoped they would be found.
Basically if you start destroying any of them, that creates its own paper trail or digitize trail AND creates a new set of crimes AND a new structure to build a conspiracy charge from. They can however attempt to hide them very well and lawfully and hope they keep winning until limitations kick in or until bigger issues or different issues emerge. If they tried to destroy anything, they'd have to find and destroy everything and somehow keep it compartmented to only the conspirators while bypassing all the retention and security measures, which was going to be more or less impossible without alerting someone who might report it.
They Never Ever thought Trump would win again AND that he would bring in more focused and competent people who should really start digging.
